EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The City of East Providence has announced the tax rates for Fiscal Year 2026, with tax bills scheduled to begin arriving in mailboxes in the coming weeks.

The City of East Providence experienced significant growth in its tax base, in part due to commercial and residential development and investments in utility infrastructure.
